Wilson Memorial Gifts
A monumental bronze sculpture by Henry
Moore has been given to the Gallery in tribute
to the late Joseph C. Wilson. The gift was
made by a group of over 200 friends of Mr.
Wilson as a permanent memorial to him.
Mr. Wilson, chairman of the board of Xerox
Corporation and honorary chairman of the
University of Rochester board of trustees,
died November 22, 1971. Announcement of the
gift was made last month as part of a University-wide Wilson Day observance.
The three-piece bronze, called "Vertebrae,"
is one of Moore's series of sculptures shaped
in the forms of ancient, polished bones. It
was exhibited this fall in a major Moore exhibition in Florence, Italy. The sculpture is
almost eight feet long, and when its granite
base is built, will stand about six feet high.
PABLO PICASSO
Boy on a Horse
1906
Ink drawing
16 x 12 inches
Gift of Governor
Nelson A.
Rockefeller in
memory of
Joseph C. Wilson
The impetus for the gift came from a group of
Mr. Wilson's friends, who formed a committee
to channel the desire on the part of many people
to memorialize him in a major gift available to
the people of Rochester. Final selection of the
Gallery sculpture was made by Mrs. Wilson on
a visit to Henry Moore at his home in England.
It will be on permanent display in the Gallery
sculpture garden.
A second memorial gift, announced at the same
time, is an ink drawing by Pablo Picasso,
given by Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller.
Called "Boy on a Horse," it dates from 1906.
The drawing had been in the Rockefeller collection for a number of years and before that had
belonged to Alice B. Toklas, longtime friend
and companion of Gertrude Stein.
